52 Weeks of Happiness :: Week 9

Last weekend I had the honor of speaking at thethe La Leche League of Georgia Breastfeeding Parenting Conference.It was awesome for a hundred reasons.

I felt like I was seeing my name in bright lights.Even if it was a local conference,I felt pretty special that I was a part of it.

After years of bearing my soul on this blog,it felt fantastic to be recognized.

As I gathered my materialsand prepared for my session,it became clear to methat I might actually have something of value to say.

It was so much fun to openthe Conference booklet and see the description of my talk.This little ol' stay at home mommanaged to write her way into something pretty amazing.

I pushed myself to stand in front of complete strangersand talk for an hour and fifteen minutes.

It was thrilling and terrifying.The ladies in the room and I really connected.They laughed and some ladieseven got a little misty when I shared my perspective on motherhood.

A few ladies told me that I had inspired themto see motherhood in a new way.

It was such a gift because they may not have realizedhow inspired I was by them.

About Me

My name is Leigh and this blog follows my misadventures as a stay at home mom. Read as I juggle housework, motherhood, creativity, and delusions of grandeur. I am inept throwback to the 1950′s housewife, so this blog gives a modern twist to a retro lifestyle. With a focus on the drama and joys of everyday life, sometimes heartfelt but usually hilarious observations unfold. All the while my ignored laundry pile grows by leaps and bounds.
